Spin Master GamesThe Joker, Diabolical Secret Identity Strategy Party Game, for Adults and Kids Ages 12 and up

It's a fun game

This game was a great deal and we have had a lot of fun with it so far. It's similar to a "Mafia"-style game, with a betting twist that makes things interesting each time.

Looks cool

Some reviewers wrote how complicated it is or how there are too many pieces but really that isn't the case. The instructions are unfortunately not the most detailed but after figuring it out between YouTube videos and the instructions we had a great time. Fun with 3 people but I could see it being even more fun with even more people.It has elements of clue almost as you all have secret identities and you have to use every move properly because there are only 7 rounds that seem to go fairly fast. You use money you have accrued to eliminate players on the board. If another player has that secret identity, they are eliminated. The rest is pretty simple. Well worth such a cheap price.

This game can be won in 2 wins if you you can guess your opponents character and if you don't guess it in the second turn then don't worry your opponent will do it for you cause you have to flip a character that isn't you each turn. Don't get me started on these crappy components that aren't double sided and are white on the back which will make it hard for someone to distinguish who someone is if they are sitting in a wrong spot. The only good thing about this is the art on the cards is alright that's the only reason I gave it a 3. Oh yeah forgot to mention nobody is the joker the joker is a deck of cards that screws up other players or helps someone out.

Worth a try if you are looking for a game unlike any other. If you like a strategy or skill based game, keep searching, this isn’t it.The game has some villains from the Batman universe but it otherwise has nothing to do with Batman. The game has many, many steps and isn’t based on skill, it’s pretty random. We are a family that enjoys board games and this isn’t one of our favorite games. If you want a game completely different than other games, give this a try. I believe the concept is that you are kind of inside of the mind of the joker and his game is chaos, probably much like his thoughts.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who loved the Joker and board games. We play many games weekly. This was so universally hated among our friend group I was asked to return it. It was not fun because it is just chaos. Zero strategy and no one had fun. Look elsewhere unless you just want it for the box.

I'm a big joker fan and was excited to play this. Seems fun on the box (amazing job polishing this turd marketing team). But once I opened it and saw all the crap involved then tried to read the incoherent instructions I was dismayed. So I watched YouTube. Surely they have a tutorial.... They did.... One. They also had a review. One. Because this game is garbage. We have never even attempted to play it. I closed the box after the videos and it just sits there. I would return it but it's not defective in a way that's the sellers fault. Buyer beware.
